They Always Told Me Lyrics by SWEENEY

Quoth the Raven

2018

[Hook]
They always told me, they always told me, they always told me ain't gone be nobody x3
Mama told me, mama told me, fuck em all go and be somebody
[Verse]
They always told me I need help
That's why I keep their bodies stashed up on my shelf
They always told me I ain't well
That's why I stole they cash and bought myself a belt
Now lookin at me you can tell
I ain't concerned about nobody but myself
See me comin ring the bell
I'm on a wave that tsunami lookin swell
See I been hungry I just need a full plate
Throwing jam on my yams sweet potato for the weight
No need to understand what they sayin to my face
In all my years never feared what's been spoken out of place
Or out of turn they don't ever bring concern
Been through seven rings of hell I got comfortable with burns
Now your boy be looking crisp feelin fresher than a fern
I just been about my chips now these bitches gonna learn
[Hook]
They always told me, they always told me, they always told me ain't gone be nobody x3
Mama told me, mama told me, fuck em all go and be somebody
[Verse]
Now I been workin through the weekend
Monday through Sunday fun days are not in season
This is the cure that I been I needin
No need to relax this effort is the treatment
You see my stress is really handy now
It keep me grinding thank my mama for the hand me down
No matter where I'm at I'm standing out
I'll keep on speaking until nobody can stand me now
That should be my name i know I be gettin sick of me
Show up all alone then I leave with a bitch or 3
Never take em home I just fuck em in they shitty jeep
If you not the fam ain't no way that you gone sit with me
Even for a ride though yeah that shit is final
I don't need hear it y'all be fuzzy like some vinyl
Yo gasket sprung a leak if you ain't thinking I'm fine though
All the trash they speak it ain't ever on my mind though
